I'm dreaming of a White ChristmasJust like the one's I used to knowWhere the tree tops glistenAnd children listenTo hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a White ChristmasWith every Christmas card I writeMay your days be Merry and BrightAnd may all your Christmases be white.

Hi all, it's time for our mid challenge reminder again at Digistamps4Joy. Riette is the host of our challenge and she has picked the theme of "Something New". So anything that you feel is something new...new car, new house, baby...or as I decided to do...new snow. That first snow of the season, you know the one I mean. The one that changes everything around you and makes everything look "new". For this challenge I have merged 4 of Digistamps4Joy's images. I used First Snow, Vintage Lantern Girl, Mr. Snowman and Gazebo.

For my card I merged First Snow twice, once the regular way and then once as a mirror image. I then layered the Gazebo, then Mr. Snowman and Vintage Lantern Girl on top.

I coloured all of the images with my Prisma Pencil crayons and oms. I then added clear rhinestones for falling snow and multi coloured one's for decorations on my tree. I added red glitter pen to Mr. Snowman's buttons and Star Dust stickles to the trim on the Vintage Girl's coat, mitts, pom pom of her hat, the icicles and to the snow. For the inside I did it up like a book...thanks for the idea Desire from Doing Life.

I hope that we will see you join in our challenge. You have until Tuesday December 23rd. You are not required to use a DS4J image but if you do not only will we be really excited you will also be eligible for the DT Choice Prize of a $10 Gift Voucher. For a full list of our rules and prizes head on over to our Challenge Blog. And while you're there check out the incredible creations that my team mates have created to inspire you.

About Me

Hello, my name is Charlene. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years and I have 2 children. A boy 25 and a girl 21. I live on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada...better known as the Wet Coast because of the amount of rain that we get.
I first started crafting when my son was in his second year of Beavers. My husband and I became leaders that year with 2 other wonderful people. I found that I had a nack for finding ways of making crafts for the Beavers to do that were cute but inexpesive. I moved on from Beavers into Guiding and followed my daughter through her 2 years of Sparks and Brownies and her first year of Guides. When she left I continued on for a few years. During this time I found that I loved making things by hand for people...so when I was introduced to making cards 3 years ago, I jumped into it enthusiastically. And I have never regretted it. Making cards has given me a creative outlet that not only lets me express myself, but allows me to give something to my family and friends that is truly unique.
